I found a problem using Interfoam on a particular mesh.

I need to have a small inlet in a big domain.
I meshed the inlet with an higher refinement level than the rest of the domain. I already used this procedure without any problems but now I'm obtaining strange results.

The incoming fluid (water) is supposed to enter into the coarse domain and fall down by gravity force. The sims actually shows the fluid stucked at the fine/coarse mesh interface.

I enclose a picture of the mesh (1/4 of the total) and my setup. Here you can also find the movie: http://www.box.com/s/c71007067151cfd480e9

Any idea ? At the beginning I was thinking bad gravity sign...

Thanks,
Daniele
